From the reviewers:

"Amid the many books on the topic, this one is a standout for the age group."- School Library Journal

"The detailed watercolor paintings perfectly illustrate a Monarch from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. The front flyleaf illustrates a variety of caterpillars, and the back flyleaf illustrates the butterflies they become. Children can have fun matching the caterpillar with the butterfly."- Children's Literature

From the publisher:

Miss Dana brings three striped caterpillars and a milkweed plant to school. Cut-paper collage creates a three-dimensional effect in Miss Dana's classroom as you follow the caterpillars through their cycle of life.
